"This is my favorite folk/blues album, especially the first 13 tracks, originally released as "Dave Van Ronk, Folksinger" in the mid 60's (that title was deceptive as the album is mainly ballsy blues!). Van Ronk's raunchy vocals and incredible fingerpicking style guitar are unsurpassed. I wish he had made more bluesy albums like "Dave Van Ronk,Folksinger" and I still hold out hope that he'll do just that someday."
Folk music lovers should love this.

"This album shows Dave Van Ronk at his best. His voice and his styling are perfect for performing these songs, ranging from light and playful to dark and brooding. I'm also a Jackson Browne fan, but I'd much rather hear Van Ronk perform "Cocaine" than Browne.Especially in these days of overproduced music that still manages to sound redundant or derivative, Dave Van Ronk is "the real deal," to borrow Buddy Guy's signature phrase.Van Ronk was an important influence on subsequent folk singers, and he deserves more recognition than he has received. Buy this album. You'll wonder how you lived without it."
Everyone should hear Van Ronk

"Dave Van Ronk is one of the last "authentic" voices in our musical history. Brilliant, anarchistic, and possibly the best male interpreter of songs in my generation. Everyone who plays guitar, likes the blues, likes guitar, plays the blues... everyone should hear this album."

"Dave Van Ronk is probably the best "folk" guitarist/singer to come out of the folk revival of the 1960's. I dont think it would be worth it to compare him to Bob Dylan, because while Bob is a genius songwriter, he is not much of a guitarist and a mediocre singer. Dave Van Ronk is not known for writing songs, and this disk is almost entirely reworkings of older songs. However, at this Dave is amazing. His arrangements are impeccable, giving his dinstinct character to the songs. Cocaine blues, come back baby, stackerlee are a few of the best. I would agree with the other reviewer that the first twelve songs are the best, making up the original abum "dave Van Ronk: Folksinger." The rest of the songs are mainly irish and galic folk style, which may or may not be your thing. However, it is easily worth it for just the first twelve tracks, which alone are the best folk/country blues album to come from the folk revival, at least by a white person. This is a classic."
